We advise that you plan to arrive at the bus stop a few minutes before the time the bus is due to depart, just in case you are delayed on the way. A bus should not leave early from a stop, but in order to keep to time and prevent delaying all the other passengers it is unlikely the bus will wait if you are running late.

Once a bus driver has closed the doors and is about to move off, he or she is concentrating on the traffic and watching the road and mirrors. The driver is unlikely to see you if you are running up behind the bus, as their priority is safely moving the bus out into the traffic. Once the driver has started indicating to move out, we advise them not to change their mind and move back to the bus stop, even if a passenger has just arrived, as this can confuse other traffic and could cause an accident.
